The phrase for the week is "We
Are What We Practice.”
What patterns emerge in your behavior time and time again
that you wish were different? What if you are chronically late, for example? How do you change this behavior if you practicing being late everyday?--late to work, late to meetings, late to bed... It creates stress, embarrassment and shapes your personal brand reputation. Consider this process for
changing this.
You must first realize the consequences of any poor
behavior. If you’re in denial and
haven’t acknowledged there is a real problem, ask those around you for feedback on the one thing you might change to enhance your personal brand.
Until you can acknowledge your role in the behavior and want to change,
it will continue.
Once you acknowledge there is a problem and you want to change
it, you must interrupt the pattern in a dramatic way. Let’s use the example of being chronically
late. To interrupt the pattern, you will
replace it with a good behavior. You may set your alarm to ring 1 hour before
your scheduled time to leave and begin to pack up and head out the door without
doing anything else or looking at your watch.
It should be noted, that you may go through this cycle of change
many times before you are successful. Provided you really want to change, there is a way: Practice...practice...practice!
I embrace the
behavior changes I want to make.
